Cargo

Updated May 2018

Alaska Air Cargo operates the most extensive air cargo operation on the U.S. West Coast of any passenger airline. The combined team of Alaska Air Group Cargo Services covers more than 85 cities from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Barrow, Alaska; Boston to the Hawaiian Islands, and beyond.

Alaska Airlines is now the only passenger airline in the US with dedicated cargo planes. Alaska's 737-700 freighter fleet will offer more flexibility and capability across the route network, with more service to Alaskan communities, new routes between Seattle and Alaska, and connectivity to more than 100 other destinations.

Starting in July 2018, Alaska Air Cargo will expand the capacity of our network when we begin flying cargo on flights operated using the Airbus fleet, which will:

The 737-700 freighters offer 20% more capacity for the state of Alaska compared to our fleet of combi aircraft. Each freighter can hold up to 39,000 lbs. of cargo compared to 15,000 lbs. (on average) on each combi.

Freighters run a schedule independent of passenger flights, resulting in more flexibility to drop in extra flights to support the seafood industry. The -700s are more fuel efficient and can fly more than 1,000 nautical miles beyond the range of the -400s.
